My True Love: Family Love

Family love is special. It is a specific kind of affection that comes with unique feelings. It is a blessing to feel safe, to sense the warmth of affection, and to be your genuine self with your family. Creating a family bond through genuine love and care is one of the greatest gifts families can give to one another. Sharing quality time not only strengthens and builds family relationships, but it also gives family members a sense of belonging and trust.

Here comes again the month of love.  It is not about a “special day” or a “special occasion”. It is about how and whom you choose to spend the special moment with. Why not make the most out of your family time to express the purest form of affection? Here are some fun ideas to create meaningful family activities. 

Classic Movie Night

Movie nights never get boring. What’s more relaxing and enjoyable than a cozy night in your favorite PJs, watching either the "parents pick" or "kids pick". Set the scene with themed décor and let the magic of the movies captivate you. Pop some popcorn, get cozy, and visit favorite old characters or encounter new ones as you laugh, cry, learn, and explore together. After the movie, talk about what you've seen, emphasizing any teachable moments that took place. A good movie could positively impact your kids’ attitude and mindset more than you think.

Plan a Family Photoshoot

There's no better way to make and preserve family memories than by planning a family photo shoot. Capture those real candid moments that will make you smile when looking back on them. If you're shooting in your neighborhood, pick your family’s usual hangout spot like a local park or playground to keep the memories alive when time passes by. Alternatively, creating beautiful memories in a studio could be an enjoyable and comfortable session as well. There will be fun props, a controlled environment, and perfect lighting. 

Creative Family Art Session

Enhance your imagination and let your creativity fly together with your loved ones. Creating a craft or drawing session with your family is an unforgettable and exciting experience. Try creating a handmade photo collage or scrapbook. Displaying your family's joint artwork is a touching and long-lasting tribute. Instead of that, try a “family member” drawing challenge. This would subconsciously promote you and your loved one’s attention to each other's character and appearance details. Your kids’ art talent might surprise you.
